“As has oft been written: ‘You are not human beings who have spiritual
experiences. You are really spiritual beings who are having a human experience.
You come here from a State of Being
where you can, literally, do or have ANYTHING - just by thinking it. You come
here to take a ‘vacation’ from all that power - in the same way the CEO of a
huge business conglomerate decides to take a week ‘off’ and go work at a ‘Dude
Ranch.’ You fret, you fume, you struggle, within whatever specific context of
limitation you install yourself. All the while, you are having the time of your
life (or lives)! Though the Veil of Forgetfulness quite effectively hides this
wry motivation from your conscious mind, you are really a bunch of Cosmic
Houdinis, who secretly revel in the amount of handicaps that you can overcome.
When you are done with life's journey, you return to your former estate, where
you will, once again, take up the divinity that is your heritage, your
birthright. And my goodness! What pictures you'll have to show your friends!’
(As you can tell, the Process of Fragmentation continues, at many levels of
vibration).” (Extract from ‘The Physicality of Ascension,’ a transmission from
The Reconnections, www.reconnections.net/physicality_of_ascension.htm).

“Obstacles are like wild animals.
They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are
afraid of them...they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them
squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight.” - Orison Swett Marden, founder
of Success magazine.

“Most of our obstacles would melt
away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk
boldly through them.” - Orison Swett Marden.

“Formulate and stamp indelibly on
your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture
tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the
picture... Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.” - Norman Vincent
Peale.

“Obstacles
are necessary for success…victory comes only after many struggles and countless
defeats. Yet each struggle, each defeat, sharpens your skills and strengths,
your courage and your endurance, your ability and your confidence and thus each
obstacle is a comrade-in-arms forcing you to become better…or quit. Each rebuff
is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you
throw away your future.” - Og Mandino.

“Be grateful for who you are. Be
grateful for who you are to become. Be grateful for the boulders placed upon
your path. For they are not obstacles, but stepping stones on your journey to
self-realisation.” – Joe Keane.

“Liberation means the power to
transcend obstacles.” - Unknown.

“If you can find a path with no obstacles, it
probably doesn't lead anywhere.” - Frank A. Clark.

p.86-87. What are obstacles? They
are nothing! There are no obstacles that cannot be overcome.

Obstacles
are like stones on the path: you walk over them or around them. Never let them
upset you. Never become involved with them in such a way that they become part
of your life. Observe them and let them pass, for they do not belong to you.

If
obstacles continue to disturb you, offer them to the Lord and he will take care
of them. He knows why they have come into your life. The Lord is always there
to help you, if only you ask for His help.

Man
tends to live out his life in isolation. He loses contact with God and with his
own innermost soul, the divine spark of the Absolute, the real Self. It is this
state of isolation and separation which allows obstacles to appear on the path
and to create problems which seem insoluble.

My
children, you are divine and there are no problems or obstacles which can touch
or disturb you, once you realise your own divinity.

Observe
the calmness and tranquillity of the Lord Himself. Follow His example in your
own life and see everything in the same way that He sees it: transient
experiences, nothing that should distract you for one moment from the spiritual
path.

Never
react to obstacles; simply walk round them or rise above them. Others may have
created these obstacles in your path in the hope of trapping you, just as
hunters trap innocent animals. But you have risen above the level of the animal
kingdom and you have much knowledge and experience. Do not be affected by the
actions of others, people who are still lost on their paths, not yet ready to move
away from the lower levels where there problems originate. Their minds are
still underdeveloped. Pray for them and know that one day they will rise out of
the darkness and shine like stars in the night sky. The light already exists
within and one day it will emerge out of the darkness.

Evolution
is a continual process, and all will find liberation in the end for all are
divine. Try to recognise that divinity within, even when you witness people
manifesting themselves at the lower levels, people who continually create
problems for themselves and for others. Remember that those problems and
obstacles do not really exist, except in the minds of those who are not ready
to see them for what they really are: nothing. Yes, obstacles are nothing at
all!

Problems.

p.88. What are problems? Whatever
they are, they are all transient in relation to eternity and of no lasting
consequence.

If
only you could learn to put your trust in Me, all your problems would be behind
you. Surrender everything to Me and release yourself from the worries that
torment you. Let all the aggravations pass you by on the other side of the
road. Do not run into them as you are doing at present.

The
way ahead is clear. Never give up your responsibilities when temporary
difficulties arise. Simply change your attitude to what is taking place and see
everything as it really is, just transient and of no permanent consequence or
importance. Surrender the problems to me for there are no problems which I
cannot solve.

Life
should be full of joy and it will be if you live your life in complete harmony
with God.

"The longer I live, the more I realise the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our Attitudes." - Charles R. Swindoll.

"The
mind is its own place, and in itself, can make Heaven of Hell, and a Hell of Heaven."
- John Milton.

“There is no such thing as a problem
without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their
gifts.” - Richard Bach (Illusions. The
Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah, Pan Books Ltd, London, U.K., 1977).

“Whatever
the problem we have in our life, someone has faced it
and overcome it.” - David DeNotaris.

B-9. “Be like the ant. When the ant
gets a mixture of sand and sugar, it selects only sugar. It neglects the sand.
See only good in others. Pay no attention to the bad.”

D-15. “Do not count your tears of
pain. Do not pour over your grief. Let them pass through your mind as birds fly
through the sky, leaving no trail behind, or as flames and floods appear in the
screen in a picture house without singeing or clamping the screen.”

H-10. “Humanity is the higher, the
upper. Divinity is the highest, the uppermost level. Humility is the best
credential for success in life.”

H-10. “Human society minus God is
equal to a forest of brutes.”

I-19. “If anybody blames you or
abuses you or hurts you, do not do the same to him in return; when a dog bites
a man, he does not bite the dog in return.”

S-18. “Strength in a good man
enables him to help the weak and serve society. Strength in a wicked person
encourages him to cause harm to people and harass the weak.”

S-20. “Suffering entitles you more
to the Grace of the Lord. When suffering comes in waves, one behind the other,
be glad that the shore is near; bear them bravely. Like cowards, do not throw
the blame on some outside power or develop dislike for the Lord.”

T-14. “The Lord does not test man
just for fun. He does not pile calamity on calamity because he enjoys it.
Examinations are held to measure achievement and award marks and honours. You
must ask to be examined so that your progress may be recorded.”

"We
have no right to ask when sorrow comes, ‘Why did this happen to me?’ unless we
ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way." -
Author Unknown.

Abraham-Hicks states that when we
look back at our problems we feel worse whereas when we look toward a solution
we feel better. Improving our emotional condition is therefore part of the
solution whereas dwelling on things gets us nowhere and is part of the problem.

“Nature loves
courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by
removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will
not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all
these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the
alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in
the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss
and discovering it’s a feather bed.” - Terence McKenna.

Meador
(Don Dubbins):
Before I saw ya he-heaving those guards around I never seen a man handle
himself like that. D-did you learn that in China?

Caine (David Carradine): Yes, and other things
more important.

Meador: Like, what?

Caine: To celebrate every man’s life in
my own.

“When you
despair at the many obstacles in your lives, switch tracks to what the future
holds for you. Live the future now as far as possible and when you meet people
who would pull you down, let their comments or actions leave you unaffected.
They will soon get tired of your refusal to respond to their negativity. As
time goes by you will find more and more you are drawn to people that are
similar to your own vibrations. Soon you will only move within a specific
circle of friends that share the same interests. It does not mean that you
ignore others, as they may benefit from your help. Be on hand if you can share
your knowledge with them, and measure it so that it meets their level of
understanding. Remember that you are sailing in the same boat, but when the
winds of change come some will have to change course. Your destination depends
on how well you have prepared for the changes, but not everyone will move on to
Ascension. The process has been in place for a long time, but now that it is
speeding up you cannot lag behind if you are serious about Ascension. After all
you have been through it is well worth every effort you can muster to cross the
finishing line.” – SaLuSa (channelled through Mike Quinsey, 8 September 2010, www.gfbymikequinsey.blogspot.com).

“My
sannyasins have to live a life of bliss - that is their meditation. They have
to drop all seriousness, they have to become more playful. They have to look at
life not as a problem but as a mystery. If you look at it as a problem you
become serious because then a great temptation arises to solve it - and it is
insoluble. It will lead you into more and more seriousness and into frustration
and into sadness.” – Osho (www.oshoquotes.net/category/osho-quotes-on-sadness).

“No one can
drive us crazy unless we give them the keys.“ - Doug Horton.

“I backed into a car this morning. So, there we
are alongside the road and, slowly, the driver gets out of the other car. I couldn’t believe it: he was a dwarf! He storms over to my car, looks
up at me and says, 'I AM NOT HAPPY!' So, I look down at him and say, 'Well,
which one are you then?'…and that's when the fight started.” – Unknown.

Did you know that this is the 12th and lowest universe in our multiverse and that it is founded on the energies of fear and suffering which were not resolved in the 11th?

Karma & Emotions

This e-book explores the opportunity for releasing deep emotional blockages from the past that crisis presents and the notion that this process of self-healing is an essential aspect of spiritual ascension (click the picture for more info & free pdf download)

About Me

Born on 25 November 1965 and currently living in Yorkshire, England. I write songs and books and have a website that serves as a platform for my work as well as being an Ascension resource. The Treasure Chest displays all chapters of The Monstaville Memoirs trilogy as well as further insights from various sources relating to the themes of these books. The Powerlessness of Now reveals the many ways in which we have given our power away to the Establishment through its web of control.

“Someone asked, ‘Why is there suffering?’ [Meher] Baba gave this succinct reply: ‘Suffering is essential for the elimination of the ego, just as it was necessary for you to scrub and scrub in order to wash the stain from my coat.’" - Unkown.
